Allow blacklist to hide spammers abusing Party Finder

[zeth07]

I made a thread about this very thing back on 01-04-2015 09:37 PM and like 99% of the people in the thread absolutely disagreed with me when I was suggesting making a separate section for buying/selling stuff whether it'd be content or for crafters.


My how the times have changed.

I'm not really sure what you mean? I definitely read this thread. People seem to mostly agree that something should be done about the PF with all those people selling content and how it disrupts the purpose of the party finder.


When I mentioned it, nearly every single person hated the idea of even adding an OPTION to separate the two types of things, not even saying that it shouldn't exist (it shouldn't) and people still gave me hell for even suggesting it.

Now here we are and other people seem to be in agreement that those types of party finders shouldn't exist. Just take two seconds to read the posts in the thread I made/linked and see the difference when I'm talking about quite literally the same types of things.


I'll even give a pass for crafters advertising / and static recruiting but even back then people were advertising selling content and it cluttered the party finder even before we got cross server and all those category tabs.


The excuse back then was that it was "Party Finder" and it didn't matter what they put since you could put anything in your comment and as along as the people who joined followed it it was a non-issue, which is what someone tried to reference a GM saying.


Maybe you didn't read the thread I linked? And just seeing what those people were saying in reference to basically the exact same scenario here.

The difference is there was no Cross World Party Finder when you created this. This is effecting players all on a data centre and not just single worlds.
